Assemblywoman Pilar Schiavo’s Statement on Governor Newsom’s State of the State #CAleg

On the anniversary of the fires, we remember the loss — and we honor the strength of our community. When Altadena and the Palisades needed support, our neighbors showed up with open hands and open hearts. We continue to stand with every family still rebuilding and healing one year later.

Congrats to Senate Pro Tem Monique Limón. 50th person, 2nd woman, 1st Latina, and first mother elected Pro Tem. I’ve seen her in action fighting for her community - and I am excited to fight alongside her for childcare, healthcare, and stronger protections for all Californians. #CAleg

A new LA County courthouse is being proposed for Santa Clarita, and the Judicial Council is collecting public comment right now. Your input will help shape what happens next, make sure your voice is part of the process.

We know food costs more than ever and we are so happy to be able to help families focus on time together this #Thanksgiving instead of worrying about how to put a meal on the table.
